I was at the Staple Ctr today and watching the Clippers lose to this sorry Bobcat team, has made me realize that I don't see me renewing my seats for next year.

I usually always stay to the end of the game, today was the exception. I left with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter. I could not stand staying there for one more minute.

Sterling is you read this Blogs i hope that you are planning to do something quick, because i can bet that i'm not the only season ticket holder that is fed up with the sorry product you are feeding us.....

The Clips got worked over by a more athletic and healthier team in Charlotte. The Bobcats maybe a sorry team right now, but they're heading in the right direction, even with Michael Jordan in charge of the basketball side. Even with Tim Thomas having a very good game and Ross finally waking up from his offensive slump...just another blase game by our Clippers. I was really hoping that Thornton would have a breakout game against this Bobcats, but his foul trouble killed that.

I dont know about the rest of you alleged season ticket holders, but my rep called me and asked about things.

I said everything was fine. This is how things go when 2 of your best 3 players go down.

Arenas for Brand is pretty much one of the worst trades I have ever heard.

Thornton out tonight. Somehow I feel like the irrational among us will still be disappointed when 8 Clippers (3 of whom are point guards and one is the ghost of Aaron Williams) lose to the Hawks. Can't fight dumbness with logic I guess. Of course, its not like Thornton has really contributed much in the last week anyway.

Kamen, mags and Thorton are questionable tonight. One of them will probably play. Doesn't really matter anyway. Hopefully there will be more fans than players at the game.

You might be happy with them raising the ticket prices %15 and having one of the worst records in the league, but many people will be canceling their tickets. I wouldn't call Livingston one of the 3 best players. He couldn't even take the starting job from cassell.

So, according to John R, you must agree with his position or you're dumb.

I guess I'm dumb. As Program print says, Livingston was not one of the team's three best players.

On a related note, I wouldn't trade EB for Agent zero either. However, the team does need good, young, quick shooting guards. Like they could have had if they had taken Stuckey last year. My problem is that management seems to have no clue. I understand there are injuries, but it seems to me that there is no plan, poor coaching, etc. I would start the process with a new GM.

i'm sorry, but if ya'll aren't going to renew your season tickets because of this terrible season, then you aren't true clipper fans. please don't renew your tickets, shut the F up and go root for the fakers.

In defense of Shaun L., he is the #1 guy in the team when it comes to court-vision and passing ability. Give him a year or so and he'll easily be one of the all-round top 3 Clippers...

And can we stop the in-fighting around here? It's childish and pointless. You all the like the same sport and the same team, so whether you like it or not you already have a lot in common. While you may not agree on the dynamics of the team and who is good/bad, do you have to attack each other so often?

I work at a Boston sports bar. Those fans are obnoxious enough but you guys are giving them a run for their money.

Chris - is a true fan in your mind someone who doesn't demand competence and accountability from management and blindly, like a lemming, does whatever management asks?

I would tend to agree that the team as currently constituted cannot get to the playoffs without EB and Shaun. However, that doesn't mean that management doesn't have to sign players who will help the team, run an offense that is conducive to the skills of the players the team has, etc.

tw and Jax,
I agree with you completely. I hate dunleavy, want elgin out of there too (along with Roeser and preferably a new owner would be nice as well), want the clippers to be better and expect upper management to do something about it. I just think it's kinda childish for people to say i'm not going to renew my season tickets.

The clippers have always kinda been bad and had bad management. i love the clippers, hate that for years we were the laughing stock pun of every bad team joke in the nba, but i still loved them and stood by them and will now as we seem to ruin what could've been something special. that has been the Clippers m o and as much as i hate it, i love it and them.

I'm all for complaining and demanding change, but i'm a fan, always will be, it just bothers me when some people say they won't be if things don't change.

The clippers won't trade Cassell because Sterling still thinks the team has a shot at the playoffs...

HA! If the Clippers make the playoffs this year, i'll show up to game 1 in a thong and nothing else...and paint these words on the back side of my ass, " i was wrong to think that this team could make the playoffs after a 13-28 start."

Sarcasm speaking here -- The Clippers are so good and deep at every position that draft picks and/or young players are not worth trading Cassell for.

Sorry correction. This year the East really sucks, so currently the 8th team in the West is 8 games over 500. If it continues at that pace, the 8th seed will need to be 16 games over 500. So if the Clippers won every game for the rest of the season, they'd be tied for 8th (54-28). So basically tonights game is their playoff elimination game.

just read a really funny book called “Foul Lines,” by SI hoops writers Jack McCallum and Jon Wertheimer, and I thought my fellow Clips fans would enjoy it. It’s a great satire of the NBA today, with the names changed to protect identities (but it’s very easy to figure out who is who). It takes place in LA (the team is called the "Lasers"), so there's some funny LA-related stuff too, with the wild drivers and the pretentious trendy clubs. Everyone gets mocked, from rich owners in the mold of
